B-202-1
Muddy Creek 1st month 7th 1818
As I was silently musing this evening my
dear friends Thomas & Charity Rotch were sweetly brought to my
remembrance, and while my friends are enjoying themselves in
conversation, I have presumed to conserve through the medium of
writing with you who are absent in body but are often very
often(I Hope)present in spirit and particularly so this eventing.
I think your kind attention to us when our lots were cast amongst
you has seal'd impressions that will never be erased. in recurring to
that time the query often arises "What shall we render" etc And my desires
are that my dear friends may, or has been rewarded for your affec=
-tionate regard to us weary pilgrims who were strangers and in a
strange land; But when beneath your hospitable roof were favoured
to feel ourselves at home. how consoling to the weary traveller
to meet with a "brook by the way."
I think T French gave an accou-
-nt in a letter to you of our getting along to Wheeling. We had a meeting
